***UPDATE*** Mice ate my light wiring, ques on the wire connectors

[tstex]

I found out why my lights would not come on (pic 1)

Are the white connectors reusable? (Pic 2&3) If so, what’s the process of removing old and installing new wires?

if not, does anyone have a source?

thank you in advance

You should be able to release the metal portion (terminal) of fittings (usually have spring lock of sorts that a straight slim object can depress and terminal should come out and you can open up crimps and put on new wires....

Thanks Wrangler

I use dental picks for pushing into those things to release the little spring flats

I like the others would fix the ones you have. You could also get a new male/female three terminal set at Napa or probably online.

Welcome to the Mouse Club. I got hit a month ago. It took a while to rewire the mess. They shorted the wiring and battery died. I couldn’t figure out why the battery died. After I charged it, I found all the indicator lights on with the key in my pocket. I then knew it was mice. They have hit me before.

Look at your terminal housing and look for a barb that holds the electrical terminal in place. Picture shows an example.
